About the Service

Electrical Service Upgrade & Meter Base, Done Right

The service includes the meter base, the service mast or underground cable and the main disconnect. Storm damage, age, a rusted meter base or a bigger electrical load can all call for repairs or an upgrade.

We evaluate the existing service, plan the new equipment and coordinate any disconnects and reconnects with the utility. We convert overhead services, replace damaged masts and install new meter bases where required.

Music City Electrical brings electrical service upgrade & meter base to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 22 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About Service Upgrade & Meter Base

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Who handles the power company part?

We coordinate with the utility for the disconnect and reconnect that the work requires. The utility owns its equipment and sets its own rules, and we explain the steps and timing.

What if my service mast was damaged in a storm?

Call us. A damaged mast can leave live wires exposed, so keep clear and call the utility and us right away.

Can I move my meter?

Sometimes. It depends on the utility’s rules and the new location. We can look at your setup and tell you what is possible.
